LenDale White to start

After LenDale White missed the first two preseason games with a hamstring injury, and knowing he will miss the first four regular-season games to serve a suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy, the Broncos are going to give the former Tennessee Titan touchdown machine a good look tonight against Pittsburgh.

White, a Denver native who played for both Denver South and Chatfield high schools, practiced this week with the first-team offense while wearing an orange non-contact jersey. He will wear the Broncos’ blue No. 26 jersey tonight and start against the Steelers.
